[sdiy] PLED Displays

[Dave Peverley]

I was just bouncing through the CPC online catalogue this lunchtime looking
for cheap LCD displays for prototyping with, and came across these. Anyone
seen them yet?

If you haven't, the blurb's :

"A range of polymer LED (PLED) displays utilising the new display technology.
These displays offer high contrast green characters against a black
background, the displays may be viewed from almost 180° unlike conventional
LCDs and feature very low power consumption. The pixels illuminate without
the need for backlighting, this makes them suitable for portable equipment
whereby power must be conserved."

They do 16x2 chars (HD44780), and two physical sizes of 64x16 dot matrix.
They seem reasonably priced too...

Could be interesting for someone, although my needs are for larger
displays...
